Special Education Presentation

/in /by

Special educators need to understand how to include and engage general educators in the IEP process. They also need to have a firm understanding of the research behind inclusive classrooms for special education students, the benefits of inclusion settings, and their potential drawbacks.

Refer to and utilize the “Individualized Education Program (IEP) Blank Template” and the “New York City Board of Education Individualized Education Program Blank Template” as needed to inform the topic assignment.

Create a 15-20 slide digital presentation for professional development for general education teachers on the topics of IEPs, inclusive classrooms, and team teaching. Your digital presentation should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately. Address the following within the presentation:

  • Explain each major section of an IEP, specifically discuss where teachers can locate accommodations that are needed in the classroom setting.
  • Describe what an inclusive classroom setting looks like and when it may be the most beneficial setting for students with disabilities. Include specific examples of students with disabilities being appropriately placed in an inclusive setting.
  • Explain the importance of culturally responsive teaching and include three examples of culturally responsive instructional strategies that could be employed in the inclusive classroom setting.
  • Describe three team teaching models and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each.
  • Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

Support your presentation with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

While APA format is not required for the body of the assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

Chem Assignment 4

/in /by

For this experiment, begin by reading the Introduction and Procedure.  Use the procedure to follow along with the video to record your data and observations.  Along with the video, there are also images where you will find your specific sample information.  Find the images attached.  That is your marbles sample.  Everyone will use the same image of the empty beaker on the balance to be used for the weighing by difference calculation.  Once you have calculated your sample’s density, post the density into the discussion board.  You will then use other classmates’ density results to complete the analyses.  Please do not wait until the last minute as you and your classmates are dependent on each other to complete this experiment.  Be considerate.  Assignments due for this module are the Data Collection and Results Pages, Post-lab Assignment, and Quiz.

Foundation Of Family And Consumer Science

/in /by

 This week we will discuss careers in family and consumer sciences. AFTER reading Chapters 6 – 9 of the textbook, please describe and discuss your thoughts on your career interests. What do you see yourself doing with your degree? What tasks should you be working on right now to help ensure your success in you desired career? Can you see yourself working within any of the fields mentioned in the chapters so far?  

You will be able to express your educated opinion (meaning that your words are based on concepts/research/facts) as you respond to the assigned prompt. Your grade is based on your ability to share your thoughts in a thoughtful, polite, and civil manner. You are also expected to respond to at least one of your classmates about their post. It is expected that all posts and responses will be respectful and professional in nature. This is a skill that you absolutely must have to be successful in our digital world. 

Don’t forget: Your initial response should be a minimum of 150 words and you need to respond to AT LEAST ONE of your peers with comments similar to those you would contribute in class (this is practice for the rest of the semester).

Review the Learning Resources related to hypothesis testing, meaningfulness, and statistical significance.

/in /by

As a scholar-practitioner, it is important for you to understand that just because a hypothesis test indicates a relationship exists between an intervention and an outcome, there is a difference between groups, or there is a correlation between two constructs, it does not always provide a default measure for its importance. Although relationships are significant, they can be very minute relationships, very small differences, or very weak correlations. In the end, we need to ask whether the relationships or differences observed are large enough that we should make some practical change in policy or practice.

For this Discussion, you will explore statistical significance and meaningfulness.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review the Learning Resources related to hypothesis testing,      meaningfulness, and statistical significance.
  • Review Magnusson’s web blog found in the Learning Resources to      further your visualization and understanding of statistical power and      significance testing.
  • Review the American Statistical Association’s press release and      consider the misconceptions and misuse of p-values.2

     

     

     

     

     

     

    8210 Week 5 Discussion:

    Statistical Significance and Meaningfulness

    Once you start to understand how exciting the world of statistics can be, it is tempting to fall into the trap of chasing statistical significance. That is, you may be tempted always to look for relationships that are statistically significant and believe they are valuable solely because of their significance. Although statistical hypothesis testing does help you evaluate claims, it is important to understand the limitations of statistical significance and to interpret the results within the context of the research and its pragmatic, “real world” application.

    For this Discussion, you will explore statistical significance and meaningfulness.

     

    To prepare for this Discussion:

    · Review the Learning Resources related to hypothesis testing, meaningfulness, and statistical significance.

    · Review Magnusson’s web blog found in the Learning Resources to further your visualization and understanding of statistical power and significance testing.

    · Review the American Statistical Association’s press release and consider the misconceptions and misuse of p-values.

    · Consider the scenario:

    · A research paper claims a meaningful contribution to the literature based on finding statistically significant relationships between predictor and response variables. In the footnotes, you see the following statement, “given this research was exploratory in nature, traditional levels of significance to reject the null hypotheses were relaxed to the .10 level.”

    Assignment Task Part 1

     

    Post your response to the scenario in 200 words in which you critically evaluate this footnote. As a reader/reviewer, what response would you provide to the authors about this footnote?

     

    Assignment Task 2

    Respond to one of your colleagues’ posts in 125 words and explain the benefits and consequences of the “relaxed” level of significance.
